Short, Sweet and Graphic.

The treatises on social etiquette will have
to be amended in order to include the very
latest way of declining on invitation to a re-
ception. Thus, Mr.. Henry Willard and MIR
Joseph Willard are two brother nlillionaires
in Washington who do not cultivate the vir-
tue of brotherly love. Mr.. Henry Willard
gave an entertainment and sent card to
Joseph, reading: "Mr. and Mrs. Henry Viii
lard At home, Jan. Is from to II p. M"
Whereupon Joseph sent a card to Henry,
reading: "Mr Joseph Willard also at home
Jan. Is from to Ii p. m" That was short,
sweet and graphic.-Boston Herald.

Among our dispatches recently was an item
concerning fire in New Westminster. Tho
scene of the fire is about 100 miles TO the north
west of Seattle The dispatch telling of the
fire was first sent to st. Paul and then to New
York. The San Francisco office received it
from there and forwarded it TO Seattle. Thus
we have an item from a neighboring town
that has Travelled distance of about 5000
miles. There is not more striking example
of the rapidity of the telegraph than this
mornings account of the fire at New West
minster.-Seattle (W. IT, Press.

As an express was entering Carson, New,
she othef day man fell upon the track while
attempting to cross it, just before the train
came to the depot. He apparently caught
his toe against rail, and fell with such vio-
ience as to become stunned. The train was
not more than 100 yards away, and the man
would have been run over If an agile lPiute
had not jumped to his rescue and dragged
him out of his serious predicament In doing
so the bold Indian narrowly escaped with his
own life. Tom Clark, the engineer, did not
see them, and could not have stopped the
train, anyhow, as they were too close to him
When the man recovered his senses and
learned what narrow escape he had, he went
down in his pocket and fished out a $50 piece,
which he handed to the Indian, remarking:

Alcohol for a Sore Finger,

Necessity is the mother of large brood Of
inventions in prohibition Maine, particularly
among those to whom strong drink is neces-
sity. One such recently asked a Lisbon drug
gist to sell him some alcohol for his sore
finger The druggist would not "Won't
you pour some on my finger, then9" asked the
man. The druggist said that he would and
took hold of the finger, which was completely
hidden in bandages of cloth. 1t yielded to
his touch, and he pulled at it, the bandage
came off and revealed the fact that the finger
was badly bogus, being made up of sponge.
Il was the fellows evident design to get the
sponge well soaked and then suck out the al
cohol-New York Sun.

Young Africa as a Page.

Desperate attempts are being made to train
young citizens of African descent for service
as pages. Clothed in gay liveries, with crests
or initials on the large buttons, the little
darkeys arc expected to follow their mis-
tresses when they go shopping or to pay calls,
and on reception days they are to stand at
the door with silver waiter for the reception
of cards. 1t is very hard, however, to Gisci-
pline them, and on ono or two occasions they
have made statements to visitors which have
produced deal of trouble especially at tho
house Of a brigadier general, where the visitor
was told, after waiting some time, ~ can't
find missus, though she was here just row,
but guess she must havc seen you coming
and slipped out the back way. Ben: Perley

A Shrewd Buyer of Coin.

A quiet, sedate young woman, who wears
glasses, always carries couple of books and
looks as if she was an adrnirer of Browning.
is one of the characters who haunt the New
York hotels. She is a shrewd young Jewess,
in spite of her Bostonian appearance, and
makes good living by buying the foreign
coin, which is picked up at the hotels from
travellers who exchange glittering foreign
gold for the cartwheel American dollars. Tho
hotels get the coin at discount, she buys it
at slight advance and disposes of it in Wall
street. Her friends say there isn't a coin
struck but she can tell its value at q glance.
She picks up valuable pieces once in a while
that go to numismatists at handsome pre-
mium-Kansas City Times.

there are wrought in small silver letters, the

PARTISAN BENEVOLENT SCHEME.
Shelters for People Without Homes.
Cause Of Faiiure-Anothcr Trial,

Cause OF Failure-Anothcr Trial.
About a year ago NJ. Georges Berry,
touched with pity at the sight of so many
poor people sleeping at night under the
bridges, behind boxes On the quays and in
similar places, in all kinds of weather and
seasons, brought proposition before the
municipal council for the establishment Of
two or thrco refugees, for the purpose of
sheltering those without homes. Tho council
adopted the measure, and toward the end of
january, 1856, refuge was opened in tho
Place de Ia Chapelle. It was large build
ing, rough. but well covered and fortified
against wind and rain, and furnished with
benches end few straw mats for invalids.
All who presented themselves here were re-
coived up to the capacity of the niilding, and
when morning came each occupant was given
q dish ef warm soup.
The refuge became popular at once with
the homeless, but the residents of the Place
dc la Chapelle objected vigorously. They said
that not alone did the homeless como thero,
bat the lawless in great numbers; that tho
refuge became simnly rendezvous and head
quarters for desperadoes, and that many n
petty crime was concocted in its walls So
great was the c!amor against the institution
that before spring had passed il was closed.
But the idea suggested by the philanthropic
Berry was good one, and tho council sought
to give it another chance to demonstrate its
worthiness. Lack of sensible discrimination
seemed TO be the cause of the failure of the
first attempt. A new location was found
near the ancient Hotel Dou, but as the build
ing there had necessarily to be small, another
was built Mt the same time on the Quay de
Valmy, These were formally opened ono
afternoon recently.
Under the new regulations the "gaests"
must give their names and occupations and
explain their circumstances satisfactorily to
the officers in charge before they viii be ad-
mitted. 1t is hoped in this way that The
worthy, unfortunate poor of the city can be
saved some of the suffering they have endured
In the past. But Paris is vast and the poor
are with us always. The refuge on the Quay
de Valmy will accommodate 500 persons. 1t
was dedicated at 2 O'Clock one afternoon and
at in the evening every bed was occupied,

An Inventor took bomb into the patent
Office at Washington the other day and de-
posted it on one Of the tables with the remark
that it would explode as soon as it was placed
in water. As soon as he left the Office one of
the clerks concluded to experiment, and pro-
cured pail of water for the purpose. No
sooner was the bomb ducked than it exploded
with terrific effect, blowing the pail in dozens
of pieces and splashing the water over every
foot of space in the room. After the occu-
pants had wiped the water from their faces
and shook their clothing little resolution
was adopted by them never again to be Gu
rious about strange inventions The report
made by the explosion was SO loud that 1t
could be heard in almost every part Of the
building. Chicago Times

The Biddle house, the largest hotel In De-
troit, covers an acre Of ground, has six acres
of floor, and is worth S500,0O0. Luther
Beecher, who owns it, has had trouble for
twenty years in renting the property, and
now proposes to give it to the public. If he
can sell it, he will give s500,000 to fund for
the charitable institutions in the city. If he
can rent it at $4,000 a year, he will apply
the rental to the same purpose. If he can
neither sell nor rent, he will cut up the big
building and devote it to charitable purposes.

To Save Human Life.

A Texas legislator has introduced bill to
punish by fine the manufacture, importation
and sale of any pistol of less than 44-caliber.
His reason for introducing this bill is that a
man hit with bullet from 44-caliber pistol
will generally die before he has a chance to
shoot back. The result will be an obvious
saving of human life. Moreover, a A caliber
pistol is so big that it can't be worn concealed

wild onions abounded, literally an onion

with the Chica-goo, the place of onions. 1t
